See Addendum
Chimney draft if less than 0.06 inches water guage will impair the stove performance and hence its
capability to keep the door glass clean. Your installer will check this for you.
The whole stove body should be a minimum of 150°C to enable the air wash to operate satisfactorily on
the inside of the glass face. (200°C is the optimum operating temperature).
Do not load logs with the end grain pointing toward the glass as this will result in excessive glass
blackening. Always arrange the logs in a crossways fashion within the firebox. We cannot guarantee
that the stove glass will not blacken. However, high temperature (150°C +) burning with the secondary
air control in use will clear the glass. (200°C is the optimum operating temperature).
7. AIRATED BACK PLATES
The back panels (pre-drilled vermiculite or ceramic coated panels at the rear of the stove) are
consumables and will deteriorate in use. The panels are not covered by the
manufacturer’s
warranty.
Damage can be caused by excessive firing but more usually by logs being smashed against them when
loading stove. Loading must be carried out with care.
8. ASH GRATE
The grate within your Eco Stove is made from cast iron being a highly durable material providing ash is
not allowed to sit in the grate bars from the ash tray beneath.
Ash removal is recommended before the grate bars become flooded with ash. The grate is easily
removed by simply lifting it out through the opened glass door.
9. ROPE SEALS
Regular maintenance of the stove is in part related to rope seals. Seals between the sections are factory
fitted and may remain in place without maintenance unless the appliance is stripped and moved, at
which time all compressive seals between sections must be replaced with like for like diameter rope or
flat tape as fitted to the stove at the time of its construction.
Door/ ash pit/cleaning plug and hob cleaning plug seals should be replaced when showing signs of wear
or every two years whichever comes first. Rope seals are not covered by the
manufacturer’s
warranty.
10. FINISHES
On initial firing and perhaps three to five firings after the initial period, your stove will produce what
would appear to be toxic fumes and is often mistaken for smoke leaking out of the appliance. The paint
on the appliance will be “stoved” or cured by your early firings of the appliance. Do not be concerned
that this smoke (which does not smell as wood smoke wood, it has a factory smell associated with it).
